FAAC Model S418 Swing Gate Operator
The FAAC Model S418 automated system for swing-leaf gates is an electro-mechanical operator which transmits its
movement to the gate leaf by means of a worm-screw system.
The irreversible system guarantees mechanical locking of the leaf when the motor is not operating. An easy-to-use
release device permits movement of the leaf in case of malfunction or a power outage.
Low-voltage operation permits backup batteries to be connected, thereby compensating for temporary power failures.
The adjustable rear bracket permits the operator to be installed on most existing gate types.
